By John Coyle Editor Last night, I went to see a DJ set by Andy Rourke, who was the bassist for the Smiths. I got drunk—like, really drunk—and even bummed a cigarette off him. While we were chatting outside, I told him I think the bass line for "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" is...

By John Coyle Editor I'm not sure if I've posted this before, but if I have, it's probably worth another mention. For those of us who hate giant automated phone menus—which I'm pretty sure is everyone—Paul English's GetHuman kicks ass. I've used it a bunch, and it's worked every time. Anyway, he...

By John Coyle Editor Barry Cooper is former cop who got disgusted with the "drug war" and how corrupt police handled marijuana crimes. He's been releasing videos titled "Never Get Busted Again," since 2007, but he's really hit it out of the park with this stunt. Basically, he set...

By John Coyle Editor While I don't have any official statistics, I'm sure there are plenty of people that get cold feet and cancel their weddings at the last minute. But not everyone sets fire to the venue to delay the ceremony. I mean, that's bold. But at least Tatsuhiko Kawada got his wish—it's ...

By John Coyle Editor Last night, I went to see the Jesus and Mary Chain. I'd been looking forward to that show for months, and while I was walking there, I wondered whether it could possibly meet my expectations. Well, the brothers Reid delivered what was quite possibly the best rock show I have eve...

By John Coyle Editor Last night, I went to see Wanted , and even though I'm not totally down with the amount of CGI in action movies these days, it was still pretty dope. Toward the beginning, there's a sequence where Angelia Jolie is hanging out the shattered windshield of a Viper and firing backwa...

By John Coyle Editor Working at CarDomain is—by a country mile—the coolest job that I've ever had. But sometimes, I feel like playing hokey, and today was one of those days. Being inside when it's this gorgeous out just isn't right. Maybe I should start smoking again, at least then I'd have an e...

By John Coyle Editor This post is coming a little late this morning, as I got totally distracted by FailBlog. Seriously, don't go there unless you have a burly amount of time to waste, as it's pretty addicting. Anyway, here's the news. Think your job is too hard? Well, the former lead engineer on th...
